Sandi Bertoncelj | Adventure and Landscape Photographer

“I’m a mountain landscape and adventure photographer based in Slovenia. As long as I can remember I have had a passion for photography. I have been very fortunate to live in a beautiful country and been surrounded with some amazing places, which provides me with excellent opportunities to practice my interest in photography. Photographing means I have a good excuse to do the one thing that matters to me most – being in the wilderness. My passion for the wild is much about freedom. I love exploration, and the opportunity to pursue the adventure and challenges inherent to the wild gives me a sense of fulfilment I cannot easily obtain in a more structured and civilised world. It is an escape, of sorts, but enlightenment as well.”

When the sun sinks below the horizon and vast, starry skies appear, not everyone turns in for the night. For certain adventurers, evening brings a whole new world of opportunity—each one with an epic view of Earth’s atmosphere and what lies beyond it.

Mirrors. Mountains

Mirrors. Mountains

About Me
My adventure with landscape photography began many years ago during the mountain climbing and hiking in Poland. I decided to show the beauty of the world around me by photographs, which after a few years turned into my profession and way of life. For 8 years I have worked in the St. Paul Edition as a photographer and photo editor. I have had many trips abroad performing materials in a variety of conditions – on the Alpine summits and wild shores of the Mediterranean islands. Each photographic expedition is a wonderful adventure and full of amazing experiences struggle – the struggle for the image of the painting quiet light of the world, which does not really exist, because after a while it is only a memory, but thanks to the subtleties of photos I can share it with audiences around the world.

The fact that all of these necessitate travel – because his clients and shoot locatons are spread all over the globe – is perhaps the strongest link. In this feature, we’ve chosen to focus on his lifestyle and adventure imagery.
